Text
I appreciate that the Member has been generous with his time. Mr Kingston posed the question: who will pay the price? Does the Member agree that communities in the Mournes have had to deal with not only this wildfire but previous incidents in 2004, 2011 and 2021? People are still dealing with the impact of the floods. Ordinary people's energy bills are going up. Those are the people who will pay the price for the DUP and others' cowardice when it comes to this matter.
